WARNING
•
Incorrect use of the key can result in critical injuries.
•
Never leave children or disabled persons in the vehicle; in case of emer-
gency they may not be able to leave the vehicle or look after themselves.
•
Never leave any of the vehicle keys in the vehicle. This could result in 
serious injuries, accidents or the theft of your vehicle. Always take the key 
with you when you leave the vehicle.
•
Unsupervised use of a key could mean that the engine is started or that 
electrical equipment is used (e.g. elec tric windows). Risk of accident. The 
vehicle can be locked using the remote control key. This could result in 
people being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency.Note
•

the driver's door is unlocked the first time that the unlocking button on the 
radio frequency remote control key is pressed. When the button is pressed 
once more, all doors and the tailgate will be unlocked.

If the vehicle is unlocked using the     button, the vehicle will be 
locked again automatically if any of the doors or the tailgate are not opened 
within 30 seconds of unlocking the vehicle. This function prevents the vehicle 
from remaining unlocked if the unlocking button is pressed by mistake.
•
If the vehicle cannot be opened and  closed using the remote control, the 
remote control key will have to be re-synchronised  ⇒page 100.
Changing the batteryIf the battery indicator  does not flash when the buttons are pushed, the 
battery must be replaced.

Te c h n i c a l  D a t a
– Operate the button   once for locking on the remote control, the 
indicators will flash.
– Operate the button   once for unlocking on the remote control  for more than 2 seconds.
– The key will have been programmed and the vehicle will unlock,  confirming at the same time the synchronisation.It is possible that the vehicle could no longer be opened and closed with the 
remote control if the button   is repeatedly pressed outside of the effective 
range of the radio frequency remote cont rol. The remote control key will have 
to be resynchronised.
Spare remote control keys are available from Authorised Service Centres, they 
must be matched to the locking system.
Up to eight remote control keys can be used.Anti-theft alarm system*Description of anti-theft alarm system*
The anti-theft alarm triggers an  alarm if unauthorised move-
ments are detected around the vehicle.The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to break into the vehicle or steal 
it. Audible and visible alarms are triggered if the car is opened using the 
mechanical key, or if unauthorised access is gained to the vehicle.
The anti-theft alarm system is automatically switched on when the vehicle is 
locked. The system is then primed. When does the system trigger an alarm?
The system triggers an alarm if the following unauthorised actions are carried 
out when the car is locked:
•
Mechanical opening of the vehicle with the vehicle key
•
Opening a door
•
Opening the bonnet
•
Opening the tailgate
•
Switching on the ignition
•
Movements in the vehicle
•
Undue manipulation of the alarm
•
Battery handling
The horn is sounded and the turn signals flash for approx. 30 seconds. This 
may be repeated up to 10 times depending on the country.
Opening the doors mechanically (emergency opening)
If the remote control function fails, you will have to use the key to unlock the 
car. This is done as follows:
•
Unfold the key by pressing the button  (arrow).
•
Use the lock on the driver door to unlo ck the vehicle. The anti-theft alarm 
system remains active, but an alarm is not triggered immediately.
•
Switch on the ignition within 15 seconds. When the ignition is switched 
on, the electronic immobiliser recognise s a valid vehicle key and deactivates 
the anti-theft alarm system. If you do not switch on the ignition within 15 
seconds, the alarm is triggered.
How is the alarm switched off?
When the vehicle is unlocked via the unlocking button of the remote control 
or when the key is inserted in the ignition lock.

Note•
If, after the alarm goes off, access is gained to a second secured zone 
(e.g. the tailgate is opened after a door has been opened), the warning signal 
is triggered again.
•
Vehicle monitoring remains active even if the battery is disconnected or 
not working for any reason.
•
The alarm is triggered immediately if one of the battery cables is discon-
nected while the alarm system is active.

Volumetric sensor*
Monitoring or control function incorporated in the anti-theft 
alarm*, that detects unauthorized vehicle entry using ultra-
sound.The system consists of 3 sensors, 2 emitters and a receptor.
Activation
– It is automatically turned on with the anti-theft alarm, when the 
vehicle is locked mechanically with the key and when the button  on the remote control is used.
Deactivation
– Press the button   on the remote control twice. Only the volu- metric sensor is deactivated. The alarm system remains acti-
vated.
WARNING
•
The “safe” security system remains deactivated if the volumetric 
sensor is deactivated.
•
For those vehicles in which a separate sunblind is fitted in the 
passenger compartment, the alarm will not function correctly due to inter-
ference with the sensor.Note
•
If the alarm has been triggered by the volumetric sensor, this will be indi-
cated by a flashing of the indicator on  the driver's door. This flashing will be 
different to that for an activated alarm.

If this happens, check immediately (within 10 seconds) why the window 
could not be closed before  attempting to close it again. After 10 seconds the 
normal automatic function resumes.
•
If the window is still obstructed , the window stops at this point.
•
If there is no obvious reason why the window cannot be closed, try to 
close it again within five seconds.
If you wait longer than 10 / 5 seconds, the window will open fully when you 
operate one of the buttons. One-touch closing is reactivated.
